What Was Your Clomid Timeline

My DH and I go in for our second RE appointment November 30, which is only 28 days away! (Yay!) As far as we know, we are being prescribed Clomid and scheduled BDing to help us get preganant (as I have PCOS and don't ovulate on my own). I've done research and read lots on here, so I think I've got an idea of what to expect with Clomid (timeline-wise), but I'd love hear what happened on your Clomid cycle. What cycle days did you start? (I'm supposed to start on days 3-7). Did you take it in the morning or at night? When in your cycle did you O? Did you use baby asprin and Guaifenesin? If so, when did you start/stop taking it/them?

I'm really excited to get started, so any help or stories you could provide would be wonderful.

I did 4 rounds of clomid so far with my obgyn. First I did 50 and didn't ovulate then 100 and I did then 100 again and didn't now I've just don't 150 an going for blood work tomorrow. I have my first re appointment next week. I took clomid in the morning cd 5-9. I had hot flashes moodiness and insomnia. The insomnia I hear is rare but I got it. Popsicles help with hot flashes :) good luck I know I wasn't a good responder on clomid but so many women on here it's helped so just hang in there

I'm on cycle 2 of clomid doing 100mg this cycle. 50mg didn't work cycle 1. I take it cd2-6 and have tried taking it both morning and evening. I preferred taking it on the morning as I got worst side effects in the evening when I didn't have to do anything rather than waking up feeling awful in the morning, which is what happened when I took it in the evening. I experienced some dizziness, nausea, hot flashes and headaches. I also got bad skin and greasy hair. I also get a lot of pain around ovulation time (even though I didn't actually ovulate) - I too have pcos and don't ovulate on my own at all. Are you planning on tracking your cycle in any way like temp, OPK's etc?

Iv just done cycle 1 on clomid, days 2-6 iv had some pretty horrible side effects and I found taking them in the morning was better as I had the evening to just curl up on the sofa n not do anything, I had awful headaches, really bad mood swings, really bad bloating, and then around time ov ovulation god awful stomach cramps, keeping my fingers crossed it works. Baby dust to u all. Xx

I took 100mg of Clomid on days 5-9 and produced 3 large follicles and ovulated 6 days after that and did IUI on 10/27! The only side effect I felt from Clomid was sleepiness. More than normal! Good Luck!!

Wow thanks for posting this topic I'm learning so much. I just finished 7 days of progesterone waiting for AF to start clomid 50mg days 3-7. Using bbt, Opks, and pressed during ovulation, if I ovulate. Good luck to you!

3 rounds for me, took the pills at night because day time gave me headaches. First two were 50mg days 2-6, great follicles but no ovulation. Third time was a charm, 100mg days 2-6, ovulated later than most on day 21, got a positive pregnancy test 9 days past ovulation & gave birth to a healthy baby @ 38 weeks! Now pregnant with #2 & didn't need clomid, I guess pregnancy helped regulate my body because after giving birth I had normal cycles & ovulation, which I never had in my life! Lots of luck to you ;)
